Abstract excerpt
Single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) is a powerful approach for breeding value prediction in populations with a limited number of genotyped animals. However, conflicting genomic (G) and pedigree (A22) relationship matrices complicate the implementation of ssGBLUP into practice. The metafounder (MF) approach is a recently proposed solution for this problem and has been successfully used on simulated and real...
